Earlier quoted context omitted.

I hadn't actually tried using the opt-out, but I did think it was impossible for it to work as described. I tried it just now, and it just replaces the ads with a 404. So it would be more correct to say "There is no opt-out for the DNS hijacking."

Sure there's an opt-out -- don't use their DNS servers. Throw Google's or OpenDNS's into your device's settings.

I guess. It looks like I need to jailbreak my phone to change the DNS server, so if I get around to it I can opt out. It will work as long as the DNS hijacking just returns incorrect results from T-Mobile's DNS server, rather than replacing any NXDOMAIN response from any DNS server.

Another win for T-Mobile. I have to say, for all the negative things I've heard about them in past years, the more I hear about the company the harder I think about switching from Verizon. No contracts for service, they separated phone subsidies from phone service, and reasonably priced data plans. Does anyone use T-Mobile? How is their network?

I have had great experience being on T-mobile for about 5 years. Their customer service is exceptional and they also allow you to unlock your phone after 3 months. However there are a couple of things that do irritate me: [1] They sniff the header of every web-request looking for desktop browser string. If found they sent you a warning text threatening to cut off your service. It sucks especially when you move to a n…

I tether all the time and have never gotten any flak (monthly4g plan). Also, have never seen an ad on a 404. Odd.

I was in nyc manathan. Data Network was often unavailable. I had the 4g unlimited dataplan but only using 3g (iphone 4).
